Benefits of technology

This technology uses advanced techniques like controlled hydraulic stimulation or pumping into an oil field where there are many types of rocks that have varying degrees of porosity (pores). By adjusting these parameters during drilling operations, we aim at improving the efficiency of extracting crude oil out of subterranean formations.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to developing new methods for producing hydrocarbons from underground nonporotic oils (NPO) without causing harmful environmental impact on both producers' own interests and consumers' rights. Current techniques involve drilling multiple boreholes deep within subterranean areas, leading to potential safety hazards during operations. Therefore, research efforts aim towards finding ways to efficiently produce NPO through hydroslapping processes instead of traditional ones.

[0046] Heterogeneous rock cores with a permeability difference of 30 and 100 were selected to carry out plugging experiments with small-molecule aliphatic amines respectively to study the effect of small-molecule amines on CO 2 The degree of improvement in the oil displacement effect. In this embodiment, ethylenediamine is selected as the plugging agent. Ethylenediamine (H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 NH 2 ) is a small molecular organic amine. It is a colorless and transparent viscous fluid with a pungent odor. Its melting point is 8.5°C, its boiling point is 116.5°C, and its relative density is 0.8995 at 20°C. It is soluble in water , Slightly soluble in ether. As a strong base, ethylenediamine can react with CO 2 The reaction produces ammonium carbamate, which has high viscosity and good plugging performance.

Abstract

The invention relates to a carbon dioxide drive oil reservoir production method capable of realizing stage control on fluidity. The method is characterized in that for an oil reservoir formed by homogeneous cores and heterogeneous cores with the permeability ratio not exceeding 30, a water and gas alternate injection method is adopted for production; for an oil reservoir formed by heterogeneous cores with the permeability ratio in a range of 30 to 100, a carbon dioxide drive method is adopted for production; in the carbon dioxide drive process, when gas channeling occurs in a production well, small aliphatic amine molecules are used as main agents to be injected into the formation for sealing and plugging; for an oil reservoir formed by heterogeneous cores with the permeability ratio being higher than 100, the carbon dioxide drive method is adopted for production; in the carbon dioxide drive process, when the gas channeling occurs in the production well for the first time, elastic strong glue is injected into the formation for sealing and plugging; and when the gas channeling occurs in the production well again, the small aliphatic amine molecules are used as main agents to be injected into the formation for sealing and plugging.
